Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Medium lemon coloured with pronounced aromas of apple, pear, pineapple, toast, vanilla, caramel covered bananas, lemon custard and a touch of floral perfume. Pronounced flavours of caramel apple, lemon curd, pink grapefruit, pineapple, toast, oaky wood vanilla and hint of white pepper heat at the end. Medium plus acidity and body with a rich long finish. Off dry (7g/L). This can age 2 to 5 years. Will accompany creamy chicken pasta, seafood and shellfish exquisitely.

Wineboy rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A lovely well-crafted Cali Chardonnay. Perfectly styled to appeal to many Chardonnay lovers. Has some buttery textures - but not too much. Has some power - but not too much. Lots of fruit - but not too much. I enjoyed it immensely but it won't scream to be noticed, but will silently accent your meal and evening.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
